Up to half of the 100 people treated last night, were believed to have taken an illicit substance, Queensland Ambulance added.

Queensland Police arrested 41 people, including 22 ‘toolies’ and 19 schoolies during the first weekend of end-of-school celebrations, with the majority of offences related to drug possession, AP reports.

“We won’t tolerate anything to do with drugs,” Inspector Bruce Kuhn, from Queensland Police, told a press conference. “That makes up the majority of cases that we’ve detected.”

The Courier-Mail has also received multiple reports of Schoolies ignoring repeated warnings and behaving dangerously on high-rise balconies.

One witness, who did not wish to be named, photographed several Schoolies sitting on the ledge of a balcony more than nine floors above ground level at Focus Apartments at 4.30pm on Sunday.

“They were up there sitting on the edge and yelling and throwing things to each other between floors for more than an hour. It was definitely very dangerous,” he said.

Schoolies at Focus Apartments were also seen hanging over the edge of the balcony.

Another witness told The Courier-Mail security guards at Breakfree Imperial Surf Hotel were forced to intervene when several Schoolies were spotted climbing on the balconies of the sixth floor on Sunday night.

Gold Coast Schoolies organisers say they won’t be fooled by the antics of non- school leavers trying to get into official events by illegally buying wristbands on social media, AAP reports.

The event’s organisers say they are well aware Facebook is being used as a “black-market” for Schoolies selling official wristbands in an attempt to make some quick cash.

Schoolies advisory group chair Mark Reaburn told reporters on Monday “we are not fooled in terms of working out what kids try to do - some kids try and crash the party”.

He says second-hand wristbands, which are superglued and stapled on, will be randomly checked when entering the event precinct, particularly on those who look older.

“There are some big, big boys and they’ve allegedly left school a couple of days beforehand and they’ve got a full beard. It doesn’t quite cut the mustard in terms of ‘I’m a schoolie’,” Mr Reaburn said.
